The project deals with a major problem at the western part of the Limfjord; rising sea level combined with changes in the Thyborøn Channel morphology leads to a situation in the Western Limfjord in which, within less than 50 years, water levels due to storm surges will increase up to 60 cm higher than equivalent levels of today, having almost insurmountable effects technically and economically. The project has 4 sub-projects: thorough mapping of the area, cooperation models with emergency management, innovative financial plans, and preparation of conceptual design for the project area. This project is primarily linked to governance within sea & fjords an rivers.
